That's what I used to get when I lived in London.

Well those getting more than 21mpg should be ashamed of themselves, be forced to sell their RS and replace it with a 4 cylinder diesel :P

believe me, that above is not the norm. Just a weird morning when I wasn't in a hurry and had 100 miles or so to drive so thought I would see what it could get up to. Generally I get about 220 miles out of a tank of V Power

I've seen as low as 9 mpg on spirited driving, and after a 4 hour drive to the dordogne this year the best I could achieve nursing it was 28.6mpg.
Mind you the E60 M5 be fore that only saw a huge 21mpg as it's best ever during my ownership and regularly saw as low a 6 mpg !!

I used to get 7's before my MRC remap and carbon clean, now it's 9-12mpg when having fun and much more 'fun' since the extra BHP too, however I rarely get 200miles out of the tank but I never do long runs, normal driving is about 18-20. I certainly haven't seen 30mpg but each to their own, frankly it must be my driving 'style' I don't even get 30 out of my Abarth.

Ive had mine since October and I've very rarely seen more than 220 miles from a tank in day-to-day driving. Extended runs on the m-way then 280 miles roughly.

I'll be honest its costing me a small fortune this car, but petrol is coming down in price I guess :)
